Meh....was a waste of money for me

Mimi in CA

Comments On Jan 28, 2015:I bought one of these MSR shorty levers because I had read favorable reviews both here and on a Husqvarna forum. People described the lever as comfortable, and easing the amount of force needed to pull the clutch lever in. The lever was easy to install and looked good on my WR300, but did not make the clutch pull lighter than stock, even with the cable end in the easiest position. Adjustment was poor. The clutch dragged, even when I had all the free play adjusted out. The little "traction" insert on the lever felt uncomfortable to my fingers right through my gloves, and the ball end seemed to interfere with my pinky finger. Three hours on the trail with this lever was enough. I switched back to the stock Magura (or Domino....not sure which) as soon as I got home. I guess I'll keep the MSR one as an emergency spare.

Do NOT buy this if you have a good time riding....

Lee in Montana

Comments On Jul 13, 2014:I bought this and had nothing but issues with it. After about 3 hours of messing around with it the thing shattered and crumbled out of nowhere in the adjustment section. Wouldn't ever recamend this to anyone. Put the old stock one back on and was riding in seconds!

Exactly what I was looking for

Brian in MI

Comments On Nov 21, 2013:I have been having tendon issues in my hands for the past year or so and would be in serious pain after riding. On long rides it would get to the point where I had trouble pulling the clutch in. This perch made the pull effortless even with one or two fingers. The adjustability it offers is great. Only problem I had was with the stock cable on my XR400 being too short. I was easily able to remove the cable from its sheath and replace with a custom length cable using the local hardware store. Amazing product that helps me keep riding.

Great lever

Jay in VIC

Comments On Feb 07, 2012:Coupled with a well lubed cable or new cable, this lever transformed the clutch action that is on par with any hydraulic clutch units.

Comments On Aug 19, 2011:had to use the factory adjuster and had to totally remove the locknut for their to be enough play on my clutch cable. I do love the pull of this lever though.

Easy Pull Clutch

WILL in PA

Comments On Sep 20, 2010: I have two of these and they work excellent! I have bark busters so they are protected in a fall, but no problems for over 5 years.

looks the part but seems only average streangth.

bert in WA

Comments On Jun 07, 2010:broke the perch first ride - stepped off the bike at walking pace as the front went in a hole.
was surprised it snapped as the standard perch has dealt with much worse.
anyway, standard perch & lever is now back on..... lesson learnt.

Comments On Oct 20, 2009:I bought one of these for my lt 250R and it worked great with the hd clutch set up but i got the shorty lever and didnt't like it. I recomend the standard length lever.

Fell apart

Derek in CO

Comments On Jul 04, 2009:I bought this and when putting it on bike the screw that the cable goes through twisted and broke. I called MSR and told them to see if they could send me another screw probally a 10 cent part they told me I'd have to buy a new assembly. This was a $60 perch it is now for sell cheaper. Might suggest just staying with your stock clutch.

Junk

MARK in WA

Comments On May 29, 2008:This lever basically fell apart after first ride. Adjustment screw stripped out along with the threaded piece to put at the different angles for an easier pull. Constantly having to adjust because adjuster moves.

Works but no mud gator

Brian in IN

Comments On Apr 21, 2008:I run Hare-Scrambles. I bought this lever for the easy pull. Unfortunatly there is no mud gator to keep the cable clean. I had to wrap industrial electrical tape around it (the fabric kind) to keep it clean for races. So far (2 races) it's held up fine. It does offer easier clutch pull.

A few problems

PATRICK in FL

Comments On Feb 17, 2008:I broke the bottom rotator clamp off, and the cable adjustment screw. Other than that, it is a fairly good device. I think I might try a different product next time though.

Horrible

CLIFF in TX

Comments On Jan 28, 2008:The product states:
Allows you to choose 3 positions according to your clutch pull and riding style: Easy Pull, Medium Easy Pull, Light Easy Pull .
Well, the 3 positions are small metal seperators for each position. All three broke after two rides. Do not recomend this system.

It works

MARK in CT

Comments On Oct 23, 2007:I passed on this item a few times because of the $45 price until i bought the heavy springs for an xr100. The clutch pull on a stock 100 is tough because of the ratio so i dreaded the heavy springs. It was worth the money the first time i got to a slow rocky section, highly recomended.
